"All baptised Christians belong in Christ's church and are to be welcomed at his table, regardless of their sexual orientation." We are invited individually and as a church to respond to God's call on our lives to . . . do what is just; show constant love; walk humbly with God (Micah 6:8) How can we develop a deep and life changing relationship with God through Jesus Christ, seek to live in a caring community and engage in the struggle for justice. The Uniting Church has accepted that sexual orientation is no bar to ordination. President John Mavor told a press conference that the Assembly had endorsed the Uniting Church as an inclusive church that welcomes gay and lesbian members. "The Uniting Church in Australia affirms that it belongs to the people of GOD on the way to the promised end." http://brisbane2001.ncyc.com.au/ |
